Background: Ibrutinib (ibr), a first-in-class, once-daily Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has redefined treatment paradigms for CLL/SLL. We report final analysis with up to 6 years of follow-up on ibr from the phase 3 RESONATE study of single-agent ibr vs ofatumumab (ofa) in pts with relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL/SLL. Methods: Pts were randomized to receive oral ibr 420 mg daily until PD or intravenous ofa for up to 24 weeks. Long-term efficacy endpoints were investigator-assessed. Results: Among 391 pts randomized to receive ibr (n=195) or ofa (n=196), 86% and 79%, respectively, were in the genomic high-risk population (del(17p), del(11q), TP53 mutation, and/or unmutated IGHV). At final analysis, median follow-up was 64 mo (range, 0.3-72) on ibr. Of pts randomized to ofa, 68% crossed over to receive ibr. Significant sustained PFS benefit was observed with ibr vs ofa, with median PFS 44.1 vs 8.1 mo (HR 0.15; 95% CI 0.11-0.20; P˂0.0001) and was consistent across baseline subgroups. Median PFS in genomic high-risk population was 44.1 vs 8.0 mo on ibr vs ofa (HR 0.11; 95% CI 0.08-0.15). ORR with ibr was 88% (CR/CRi in 11%). Initial ibr treatment conferred better OS than ofa when censored for crossover (HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.42-0.98). Median duration of ibr was 41 mo (range 0.2-71); 41% of pts received ibr >4 yrs. AE profile with ibr remained consistent with prior reports. Cumulatively during long-term ibr therapy, all-grade (grade ≥3) hypertension and atrial fibrillation occurred in 21% (9%) and 12% (6%) of pts, respectively; major hemorrhage occurred in 10%. Most common reasons for ibr discontinuation (DC) prior to study closure were PD (37%) and AEs (16%); DC due to AEs occurred in 6%, 3%, 4%, 4%, 6% and 4% of pts during yrs 0-1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 and 5-6, respectively. Conclusions: With up to 6 years of follow-up, extended ibr treatment showed sustained efficacy in pts with R/R CLL, including in pts with high-risk genomic features. Safety remained acceptable with low rates of DC due to AEs, and with no new safety signals over long-term therapy. These results establish long-term benefit and tolerability for continuous ibr treatment in pts with R/R CLL. Clinical trial information: NCT01578707
